While this vehicle had Corvair motive power, don't get dragged down by fixating on Corvair racing parts.

I don't want to seem like I'm just making guesses, even though I am, but it seems that Bruce Crower was a pretty hands-on type of guy...maybe he built it.

Inspired from our mystery cam making Corvair powered Spartan owner? (The Spartan-air?  ;))

None of them.

The performance parts company name was not the guy's last name.
